Zoom Communications has announced the appointment of Carlos Quaderi as Head of Asia Pacific (APAC), effective 1 August 2026, underscoring the company’s continued investment in APAC as a strategic growth region. His appointment comes as organisations across APAC look beyond standalone productivity tools to AI-powered systems that reduce complexity, connect workflows, and help teams move more quickly from conversations to completion.
Reporting directly to Graeme Geddes, Chief Sales and Growth Officer, Zoom, Quaderi will lead the company’s go-to-market strategy across APAC, including Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), Asia, India and Korea, excluding Japan. Quaderi previously served as Head of Asia at Zoom, where he drove regional strategy, sales execution and go-to-market initiatives across Southeast Asia, Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan. In his expanded role, he will oversee the broader APAC region, working closely with regional teams and global leadership to advance the company’s strategic priorities. His focus areas include the customer experience (CX) business, the small and medium-sized business (SMB) segment, and channel expansion.

He will remain based in Singapore and continue overseeing Zoom’s Asia business during the transition.
“APAC is a critical growth region, and our continued investment reflects the opportunities we see across enterprise and SMB segments, CX business, and our partner ecosystem,” said Graeme Geddes. “Carlos has been instrumental in building our momentum, and expanding his leadership is a natural next step. His deep understanding of the region, customer focus and track record will help more organisations embrace Zoom’s AI capabilities in ways that improve productivity, strengthen customer relationships and accelerate business growth.”
“Across APAC, teams are moving faster than ever, and they need technology that keeps pace without losing the human element and momentum,” said Carlos Quaderi. “I’m excited to work alongside our customers and partners in the region to help them unlock new possibilities with Zoom’s AI-powered system of action and open ecosystem, connecting conversations, people and workflows so they can move faster from ideas to impact and achieve meaningful business outcomes.”
